Reliability Evaluation of Five-Axis Machining Center based on Improved FAHPEWM-Extension Theory

To address the challenge of accurately assessing the reliability of complex equipment, a reliability evaluation system for a five-axis machining center was developed based on extension theory. By collecting and analyzing the failure modes and data of various subsystems, the strengths of the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and the Entropy Weight Method (EWM) were combined to determine the weight of reliability evaluation indicators for both the machining center and its subsystems. A comprehensive assessment of the five-axis machining center's overall reliability was conducted. According to the principle of maximum membership, the reliability grades for the spindle system and the feed system were both rated as “excellent.”
